Long Island LaxFest Inks Warrior as Sponsor

Melville, NY – Now in its third year, the Long Island LaxFest has become synonymous with excitement in lacrosse. The LI LaxFest has now added Warrior Lacrosse as its title sponsor and will be among Warrior’s showcase events for this, and the next two summers to come. As in the past, this year’s LI LaxFest will take place June 25-26 at Farmingdale State College.

This year’s enrollment is expected to top over 200 teams and has attracted not only some of the country’s top travel teams, including 3D Lacrosse, Team Texas and Team 91, but also be a draw for numerous college coaches looking to scout college bound high school players who will be in attendance.

“Ask anyone who have been to one of our LaxFest events before, and they will tell you, we want to have that festival atmosphere that you don’t get at most tournaments,” says Tournament Director, Sean Chamberlain. “Partnering with a company like Warrior was an easy decision for us, the amount of professionalism they bring will only help bolster what we are trying to achieve here. And that is running a highly competitive lacrosse tournament, but having an almost carnival like atmosphere. If you liked the DJ and the Monster Trucks last year, wait until you see who’s coming this year!”
